Cheers for the pics Gareth , nice looking car ! Who made the front suspension links up ?? I have seen that style before on another car but cant remember where . I have the Proper Ford GpA front anti roll bars and blades but cant make up my mind where to mount the drop links , looks like the strut body is quite a good solution , although mine will be in front of the axle line as they were designed .
